Romans 8:19

The earnest expectation of creation (h apokaradokia thv ktisewv). This substantive has so far been found nowhere save here and Philippians 1:20, though the verb apokaradokew is common in Polybius and Plutarch. Milligan (Vocabulary) thinks that Paul may have made the substantive from the verb. It is a double compound (apo, off from, kara, head, dokew, Ionic verb, to watch), hence to watch eagerly with outstretched head.

Waiteth for (apekdexetai). See on I Corinthians 1:7; Galatians 5:5 for this rare word (possibly formed by Paul, Milligan). "To wait it out" (Thayer).

The revealing of the sons of God (thn apokaluyin twn uiwn tou qeou). Cf. I John 3:2; II Thessalonians 2:8; Colossians 3:4. This mystical sympathy of physical nature with the work of grace is beyond the comprehension of most of us. But who can disprove it?
